NEON {a Sprint Agency}

Overview

NEON was born from a fintech startup when they discovered the methods they were using (design sprint and lean product methodology) had a greater value to the world than their original business concept. But after the “Design Sprint Bubble” burst, design sprints become more difficult to sell.

Using the methods that would become the Sales, Service + Lead Kit, this was P&Co’s first validation that our productised structure would work for other clients.

Process

The first step? Customer research to refine that language, of course. Launching headfirst into customer research, we led a complete messaging shift from a Design Sprint focus to an outcome focus (in fact, dropping the word “sprint” from all marketing communications). Sales conversations become much easier with this new language, and the accompanying digital products and lead generating content completely transformed the business.

The development of the new frameworks—the digital counterparts to the service in DIY workshops and templates—resulted in an invitation to be included as a MURAL Playmaker, an opportunity to teach new methods at Google, and in ongoing lead generation that continues to grow the business today.
